Agility in a Bottle! (5e Equipment)

Design Note: The following is a series of seperate items, comparable to the Belts of Giant Strength. However, instead of increasing Strength, these items increase Dexterity. Due to the way D&D 5e is made, a higher strength is only especially useful for certain characters while increasing dexterity is incredibly powerful for almost any character. To account for this, the relative rarity of the creatures involved in the creation processes of these items, and the process itself, these items are rarer. Additionally, some of these items use the Unique Item Rarity homebrew ruleset. If you don't use that ruleset, they can be Legendary rarity instead.

Wondrous item, rarity varies (requires attunement) When you wear this necklace, your Dexterity score changes to a score granted by the bottle attached to it. If your Dexterity is already equal to or greater than the bottle's score, the item has no effect on you. Five varieties of this bottle exists, corresponding with and having rarity.
